Hi Stephen -- I am continuing to work towards other users for cleancache. While it is not clear if they will be ready in time for the 2.6.38 window, it is possible. If it is not too difficult to keep cleancache in linux-next for now, I'd appreciate it if it stayed in. However if you or Linus prefer otherwise, I understand. Thanks, Dan
